I'll have a look. An update to this, I think I have more of a problem than was apparrent before. I have now connected a screen but nothing is sent to it either in the consle or if I try and run x. Bios and early boot messages get displayed and the last message is "waiting for dev to be fully populated". When gdm starts, I get loads of error messages from the neuvo video driver. Incidently, I did a fresh install with the same outcome but during the installation, the display was normal. If I try and run X-configure I get "the number of screens did not match the number of devices exiting". I assume I am right in thinking that x is not going to work unless I am getting some output to the screen?
